Lessons from Latin America

Since the early 1980s, Latin American countries have been innovative in a range of policy and cultural experiences, including health care, voting, pensions, and multiculturalism. And yet, their policy innovations are rarely found in textbooks. This book addresses that gap, providing a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of both the history of "e;looking down"e; at Latin America and the political, economic, and cultural "e;lessons"e; (including successes, failures, and unintended consequences) that should inform important policy discussions around the world.
